glad to hear, but I suspect there's also a recent kernel change involved here:
I get exactly the same message when blanking CDRWs on two different recently
installed machines:
1) a box running 4.5-RC FreeBSD 4.5-RC #0: Wed Jan 23 16:12:22 MET 2002;
ran before: 4[.4]-STABLE from October (and cdrtools-1.10); blanking
CDRWs did not give any problem.
CD-burner installed: <YAMAHA CRW4416S 1.0f> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device
2) a box running 4.5-RC FreeBSD 4.5-RC #0: Wed Jan 16 12:41:51 MET 2002;
ran before: W-9x, no problems with burning;
CD-burner installed: <TEAC CD-R55S 1.0F> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device
I first installed/upgraded both of them just after Xmas (and installed cdrtools-1.10_1 ...)
and both suddenly stopped being able to blank CDRWs, even worse, a CDRW burned
at a nearby W-9x box, cannot even be mounted (no such device ...)
Burning and mounting CDWs works fine (the first box is a very often
used laboratory's "free service" CD-writer).
NB. I do not have the VFS_something option in my kernelconfig which causes
conflicts with cdrtools-1.10_1 and SCSI-2 burners.
